Just for some your knowledge or someone needy finally i have found solution for my question for dynamic discount amount.

to achieve this you need to change in two methods first one is process(Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Item_Abstract $item) under Mage_SalesRule_Model_Validator class in which you need to change the rule discount amount and set it to any dynamic calculated value like
$rule->setDiscountAmount($dynamicDiscountAmount);
and in the collect method just update the discount amount for display purpose in totals block

$address->setDiscountAmount(-$discountAmount);
$address->setBaseDiscountAmount(-$discountAmount);
